The Aurek fighter was a 9,2 meter-long delta-shaped starfighter armed with two heavy laser cannons and two proton torpedo launchers, capable of holding six torpedoes. The fighter was capable of considerable acceleration and maneuvering, and had variable-geometry wings. They were easily refuelable and rearmable, thus driving down costs. Although the Aurek fighters saw combat throughout a timespan of 3,000 years, they underwent extensive upgrades and revisions from one era to the next. Hammerhead-class cruisers were capable of holding a squadron of Aurek fighters during the New Sith Wars era
